1.   Write an inequality for the sentence three times a number is less than 45.
    A. 3x 45 B. 3x > 45
    C. 3 + x < 45 D. 3x < 45
    Hint

  2.   Solve 3r + 5 > 26.
    A. B.
    C. r > 7 D. r > 21
    Hint

  3.   Use elimination to solve the system of equations.

x + 8y = -38
    A. B. (-5, -1)
    C. (-22, -2) D.
    Hint

  4.   The sum of two numbers is 36. Twice the first number minus the second is 6. Find the numbers.

    C. (14, 22) D. (10, 26)
    Hint

  5.   Find a solution to the equation using backtracking.
    A. a = 3 B. a = –2
    C. a = 2 D. a = 5
    Hint

  6.   Find a solution to the equation by doing the same thing to both sides.
8p + 14 = 2p – 22
    A. p = 1 B. p = 6
    C. p = –6 D. p = –1
    Hint

  7.   How could you use the graph of h = 20t – 6t2 to estimate the solution(s) of 20t – 6t2 = 7, where h stands for height and t stands for time?
   
    A. Draw a horizontal line at h = 20 and find where it intersects the curve.
    B. Draw a vertical line at t = 20 and find where it intersects the curve.
    C. Draw a horizontal line at h = 7 and find where it intersects the curve.
    D. Draw a vertical line at t = 7 and find where it intersects the curve.
    Hint

  8.   A ball is launched straight up from ground level modeling the equation h = 52t – 10t2, where h stands for height in meters and t stands for time. What is the approximate value of t when the ball hits the ground?
    A. 6.0 seconds B. 5.2 seconds
    C. 2.6 seconds D. 0 seconds
